Top 5 Reasons- Why Business Professionals MUST Use Twitter For Business BONUS
BONUS REASON #6
Another fellow twitterholic I met on twitter (another joint venture/ strategic alliance which if you understand business you understand relationship building of course) I have been able to form with @anthonlyblando. He was generously able to help spread the word about a NATIONAL Blackberry AT&T Small Business owner’s contest Please vote for me here if you haven’t already thanks I was nominated for to help get me votes. Because of his generosity and “pay it forward” approach on twitter, he was able to RT (re-tweet) this request to his network of followers which in turn amplifies the reach across the web quickly and efficiently. It even got Re-Tweeted by @MrSocial himself (Thanks again for paying it forward) (see pic for proof) No other social network but twitter could news and reciprocity been achieved like this on such a massive scale. This is viral marketing at its finest. It is amazing at how quick current news, trends, ideas, popular websites, and answers to everyday business challenges can be answered in an instant. Even a text message! This is invaluable! It’s like having hundreds of co-workers collaborating and providing research in real time! Twitter will change the world for the better and I feel it happening everyday.

Top 5 Reasons Continued- Why Business Professionals MUST Use Twitter Like Barack Obama Did
Reason #5
So im sure everyone watched the speech tonight. I have the answer for small businesses right here. All i need from Obama is for him to help get my message out of explaining how he got elected. Barrack Obama won the presidency using social media, social networking twitter and also creating buzz around the world on blogs and news sites.
So i ask you, as professional business people, don’t you think its something you should look into for YOUR business? If you’re expecting to just pay someone to do social media and social networking for your company you have the wrong mentality. This is something that will take time, persistence, education, consulting, training, testing, refining, measuring, reporting, etc. It’s a constant re-shaping of an internet marketing strategy that scales with your business. Consider your current marketing approach- if it DOES NOT include twitter then your business is already behind and losing market share to competitors. I then ask how much per day is NOT designing an internet marketing strategy costing your business?
If you know any businesses or corporations who need an internet marketing strategist you may want to refer them to me before they get too far behind (I pay good commissions for qualified referrals)
Just straight to the point tonight i don't mean to sound rude, i just am tired of businesses just not getting it. It will require a lot of education of the small business community that i am ready to take on with my team. My fellow twitterholics will need to help out to- we cant do it alone. Maybe Obama needs to come meet with me and help spread my message which i am very passionate about which is helping bridge the gap between generations.
p.s. we are hiring weekly though :)

Top 5 Reasons Business Professionals MUST Use Twitter Cont.
Reason #4
My reason # 4 of why "I LOVE TWITTER" for business comes from @Leplan a fellow twitterholic whom Ive developed a relationship with who also recognizes the benefit of Twitter as he mentions in his blog posting about following and un-following those who don't follow you.
see below:
Re-Post of @Leplan:
"Stars in real Life do not need to be followed in Twitter.
Well, I guess this is a personal choice. I have no complaint if you follow @barackobama or @britneyspears; but I will certainly not. They are good at their place and I am not interested to know when they have lunch and when they have a shower. If anything important comes, I will get the news from my Twitter friends. I don't want to make all the real life stars look big in Social Media too; I would love to see new people becoming stars like @guykawasaki @unmarketing @justinrfrench @mayhemstudios etc. (and prob you and me :D)"
You may rethink if you want to keep following your favorite artists- @Leplan
For more on his blog- check here: @Leplan's Blog
See, this posting done by @Leplan shows why we need to stop caring about celebrities and what they had for dinner. This is not important and entertainment has become more valuable then education. We need to flip this concept around and make education more valuable than entertainment again and get our country back on track. Im honored and humbled to have been even mentioned in the same posting as @guykawasaki & @unmarketing although they have never even replied to any of my tweets.
Social Networking San Diego has taken a lead in supporting the education of small businesses on the importance of technology and forming Internet marketing strategies to help generate qualified traffic using methods such as Social Networking , Social Media and most importantly Twitter
Help support the Twitter pay it forward revolution and spread the word on the BUSINESS and PERSONAL growth that comes over time from the power of your twitter network.

Reason #3
Tech Basics For Business People On Twitter:
Twitter is a constant streaming RSS feed or "micro blog". What you as a business strategist and professional need to know is that these simple to update micro postings (your content from your updates) interface nicely with Google. You as a trend spotter business professional must also know anything dealing with Goggle should be looked upon as powerful, industry leading, cutting, edge, and as a trend setter. Just believe me when I say twitter is like Google on steroids- though on a micro scale. Twitter is more tailored around “you as the individual and your personal and professional interests” instead of functioning on a broader scale like Google does.
Twitter even takes this a step further by connecting you with lets say a business professional in another country who is as passionate about something as you are. (which is what has happen to me- except i have 5 other people out of this country pretty much strategic alliances I have created)
I see twitter as the best business tool of the 21st century and am so passionate about twitter that I could talk about it for hours and not lose interest. I’m even writing an E-Book on twitter to give away for FREE of course- so check social networking san diego for your FREE twitter 101 for business E-Book coming out soon! :)

Top 5 Reasons Business Professionals MUST Use Twitter Cont.
Hello all fellow twitterholics,
Now i haven't had a whole lot of time to do blog postings/ you tube videos, etc. but I HAVE wanted to I promise. Fortunately its for good reasons though. The current growth of Perfect Integration, Inc. from out Internet Marketing Division called social networking san diego. here's the post for today:
Reason #2
Now I am not a programmer nor do like sitting behind a desk programming 12 hours a day but I DO LIKE business and technical writing. I was always a good business writer in school. I was never one for blogging before because it seemed like such a chore to do postings until I got active and contributed my ideas, insight, and business advice on twitter. I realized and understood how twitter really worked (the technical side of it and the hidden business value early on) and gave it a shot. It was quick, easy, to the point, and because I have a clever way with words (hint content friendly)
I picked it up right away. The more you contribute on twitter, the more you get out of it and valuable it becomes. You must always pay if forward though otherwise don’t use twitter for business. Simply, twitter starts to evolve around you, learn, and get better over time the more you use it. It forms a global virtual networking world at your fingertips of like minded passionate people and over time your network becomes an information hub of resourcefulness. If you just put 1 or 2 status updates per day that you had coffee or dropped the kid off your missing the point. I would then refer you to this posting to quickly get up to speed: social networking for business strategy
Good luck everyone and check in with social networking san diego and help spread the word to other local businesses that need help! this is the life raft that will start turning their company around and exactly what Obama needs to bailout the small businesses- twitter is the key!!
P.S.- A special shout out to my fellow twitterholics and followers/ friends- i could not have done any of this with out you. (here's a special photo from me to you :)

Top 5 Reasons Business Professionals MUST Use Twitter

Twitter defined in 1 "tweet"- "on demand/ real time virtual networking group where you share info./ & strategies w/ other like-minded professionals"-@justinrfrench
Reason #1
Twitter defined in 1 "tweet"- "on demand/ real time virtual networking group where you share info./ & strategies w/ other like-minded professionals"-@justinrfrench
Reason #1
You can see from my graphic I wasn't using twitter much in the beginning then all of a sudden- HUGE spike! Now your typical Business Professional would say Justin "who cares if you have a 99/100 twitter grade or went from 8 followers to 571 followers in 1 month! How is that helping you get business?"
Now first, if you are an "old school baby boomer business professional" you may not understand this powerful Internet paradigm shift and the importance of conducting business online that is occurring right below your nose, but if you have stumbled upon this blog rest assured you’re on the right track. If you want to make an appointment with me via phone, skype, in person meeting, etc. I will gladly explain to you and your employees (complimentary) in 30 minutes or less or ill give you 100$ (for talking over my allotted time) what I have been onto and educating about for the last month. Now I will continue to the remaining reasons for other readers on how twitter changed not only my life, but my professional career, and formed a new Internet Marketing division of my company perfect integration.
